Expert Posts: 1446 Location: Wisconsin	I am just starting my search for a better fitting saddle for my mare. She requires a wider fit and I prefer a narrow twist.I like saddle that lets you sit down and lets you have a good feel of the animal beneath you, any suggests on which brands to try out?

I LOVE both of the PSCs I have owned.

Expert Posts: 1446 Location: Wisconsin	PSC saddles are definitely on my list to try. I'm in WI and have yet to find someone that has one I could try.

Expert Posts: 1446 Location: Wisconsin	Thank you for the suggestions so far. There is a tack shop I can try out Jeff smith saddles at, and I might be able to try out a Caldwell later this year. Have not heard about the Mike Green saddles yet, will have to do some digging.
